Test Details
The FISH – Amnio Two Probes: Trisomy 13 & 21 test is a prenatal genetic test that is performed on amniotic fluid. It utilizes a technique called fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to identify the presence of an extra copy of chromosomes 13 and 21. Trisomy 13 is associated with Patau syndrome, while trisomy 21 is associated with Down syndrome.
The test involves collecting a sample of amniotic fluid through a procedure called amniocentesis. This is done by inserting a needle into the uterus. The amniotic fluid contains fetal cells that can be analyzed for genetic abnormalities. These cells are cultured and treated with specific DNA probes labeled with fluorescent molecules. These probes are designed to bind to specific regions of chromosomes 13 and 21.
If there is an extra copy of either chromosome 13 or 21, the fluorescent probes will bind to the extra chromosome and produce a fluorescent signal. This signal can be visualized under a fluorescent microscope, allowing laboratory technicians to determine whether there is an abnormality.
The FISH – Amnio Two Probes: Trisomy 13 & 21 test is a rapid and accurate method for detecting trisomy 13 and 21 in prenatal samples. However, it is important to note that this test only screens for these specific chromosomal abnormalities and does not provide information about other genetic conditions or birth defects. In some cases, additional testing may be recommended to further evaluate the results or to screen for other genetic disorders.
